SliMat Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Hi All I don't know if anyone else has had this problem and I am not sure how to fix it. I have had a lot of issues recently but have got my UnRAID server back in the datacenter... but I have an issue with one of my Ubuntu VMs. After the rebuild it has no network connectivity and I think its because of the MAC address of the Ubuntu image - but I can't start to look at it as I can't log in. I tried logging in with a keyboard & mouse plugged into the server at the DC and I tried from a VNC console and the issue is that my password for the Ubuntu VM contains a & symbol and but shift-7 (&) appears as "K" in the Ubuntu VM. This has been reported elsewhere; But I haven't been able to find a work around. It did see a suggestion about installing VNC on another VM on the server - but because I have no network connectivity on the VM I am trying to access, this won't work! I think I will end up downloading the .img file to my local UnRAID box so I can try to work something out... but does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Tony Quote Link to comment
SliMat Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 OK, downloaded the image - mounted it on a local UnRAID server and it booted fine - VNC had correct characters so I could log in - changed password to something simpler with no special characters. But... given that the primary issue on my production server had no connectivity - when I mounted it locally it was assigned a DHCP address perfectly and worked - anyway I am uploading it back to the DC and fully expect no network - but I can login and start work on it Quote Link to comment
